About this tour
This 10-hour private tour from Rome combines two of southern Italy's most compelling destinations: the volcanic ruins of Pompeii and the dramatic Amalfi Coast. You'll travel in your own vehicle with a knowledgeable driver who helps shape the day around your interests. Pick-up from your Rome accommodation is included, leaving you free to linger at archaeological sites or coastal villages as long as you'd like, rather than following a rigid group schedule.
Highlights
- Walk through Pompeii's preserved streets and homes buried by Mount Vesuvius
- Customise your itinerary based on personal interests and pace
- Explore Amalfi Coast villages like Positano with unrushed time
- Private vehicle with air conditioning and onboard WiFi
- Hotel collection service from central Rome
What to expect
You'll depart Rome early morning in a comfortable, climate-controlled car with your driver. The journey south takes roughly 2.5 hours. Once at Pompeii, you're free to roam the archaeological zone at your own speed—the driver can point out significant structures and answer questions, but won't herd you through. If the Amalfi Coast appeals, you'll drive the winding clifftop roads with stops in Positano or Amalfi town for coastal views and exploration. Your driver acts as a local guide, offering context and suggestions but adapting to what engages you most. Budget time for lunch (your cost) and bring comfortable walking shoes.
Good to know
Entrance fees to Pompeii and any coastal villages aren't included—budget accordingly. The day suits all fitness levels, though Pompeii involves uneven ground and sun exposure. Prams and infant seats are available for young children. Mobile WiFi onboard helps with maps and research during drives.
